Clever Monkeys.

1t is odd that mankind has not more
generally attempted to utilize the clev-
erness and initiative faculty of the
monkey. Perhaps, however. this little
four-handed creature is too michievous
to be trusted very extensively.
A woman in Toulouse one day locked
up her money in desk and went out
shopping. On her return she missed
considerable sum, but there was no
trace of burglar. Very much bewil-
dcred, the woman was deep in refec-
ton over the matter, when she heard q
roar of laughter from her neighbor' 8
garden.
"Oh, the thief!' cried several per-
sons. where has he stolen itp"
The dame instantly ran out, saying,
"Oh, my money, messieurs! Where is
the thiefP"
He is up tree. madame" pointing
to monkey on high branch above
them, 'but here Is the money"
The monkey had been seen to climb
into one of the lady's windows. had
unlocked drawer, found the money,
and, cpncealing it in his cheek, brought
it to his master.
No less an authority than Button de-
clares that q female ohimpanzee. who
went out to service at Loango, made
the beds, swept the house, and SO far
assisted In the cooking as to turn the
spit.
A naval officer tells of another chin
.panzee, on board a French man-of- war.
who assists the cook, turns the cap
stan. and furls sail as well as any Of
the sailors.
In China, monkeys help in the tea
picking. and Lord Monboddo used
gravely to contend that apes could talk
readily enough, but that their superior
cunning told them to hold their ton
CUES. lest they should be put to hard
work.

The Lawyer and the Cashier.

prompt reply.

A Drummer 81 Sunday-SchooI.

A Boston drummer" says that
he was never cornered in his life, but
he came near it once when he was called
on to make a speech before a Sunday
school.

Summer in New Hampshire, he said.
- I went fishing one day on the town
pond end as luck would have it, one Of
the Sun .ay-schools went on a picnic to
the same place.
"a big thur derstorm came up and we
were all driven for shelter to a farm
house near by.
"We all crowded around the open fire
place to get dry. I was completely
Granched and got so close to the fire
sleep.
. Pretty soon some one tugged at my
should and hauled me on my feet.
It was the occupant of the house. Said
Ire to the school which was crowded
around me:
Mr.. - from Boston will say few
words
"'What shall I say?' I asked half
awake, and badly confused.
Oh, say three words to them,' said
he.
- All right, replied. Children. 1

words, [ began, and then I stuck.

But the three words did not come. and
the expectant school seeing my plight
began to grin.

perience at Cape Cod.

The Proposed Sewer j..

1t Is hard TO see how any system of
sewerage for the whole city can be com.
plete without the compulsory feature
being attached to 1t. This feature
seems to be the main objection to the
ordinance, and yet this Is the very pith
and life Of It Suppose sewer pipes
we're laid without having this compul-
sorry clause In the ordinance, what
would be the consequence? Neighbor
A. would voluntarily make IN attach
ment to the sewer pipes. and be glad Of
the opportunity to do 30. He wants to
get clear OF the sewerage upon his
premises with as little offeDse to the
senses as possible, and he chooses the
sewer plan. But then here 10 neighbor
b. Who cares nothing about the new
plan Of sewerage, and he elects not TO
